At University, my degree thesis was about an editor. You type in simple text phrases and it tries to parse, and if it can parse, displays the results in the bottom half of the editor window. This way you can write a database in plain Englis

Hmm, looks like the network is the bottleneck to me. Those pages load at about the same speed, so this is IMHO nonsense.

Wow, 200 employees when Mathematica is 600? Stephen Wolfram was taking a big risk with Alpha, but I guess he's used to succeeding at things.

You can return any new book bought on Amazon within 30 days, as long as you pay return postage, so it is, in a sense, a library.

I can get through a book in on average - for a 250 page hardback - a week, so this isn't obscene.

That PCW magazine Hitchhiker's Guide review (on the reviews page) was submitted by me (in about 1999).

Does this mean people will have to replace billions of phones with a new code?

Actually, I bought the mixer after I couldn't split about 10 signals to the soundcard any more! I had splitters going into splitters and it was a mess. Then the mixer I bought had FX inputs, so I bought the outboard FX units. Then I read ab

I once thought Prodigy used mod trackers (those in-game chip tunes), but I found out they just use loads of Roland equipment. After years of using soft samplers and synths, I recently moved into a bigger house and set aside a whole room for

I just got a Dell Precision M70 laptop way cheap (around $300) on eBay. It has a resolution of 1920x1200, the largest I've ever seen (in a 15.4" matte screen). What do people consider a 'large' resolution?

People say they'd rather Bing won - but Microsoft isn't innovating at the pace of Google, so I know where I'd rather my custom (including buying adverts) would go - Google.

I had a kind of program which would find primes higher than the Sieve of Eratosthenes (typically this only goes up to 4 billion because of 1 bit per integer), called a 'Leapfrog' sieve, but someone said it wasn't very interesting, and I can

I started in BASIC on a Sharp MZ-700 (a horrible machine) but in 1988 I got a Commodore 64 as a gift, along with a book (Programming the 6502) and got to grips with assembly after a christmas present: a freezer cartridge and a floppy disk d
